manufacturing back to US

Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials

“We were slightly different to most shops since we were from the UK and a custom printer. However despite these noticeable differences during the coaching sessions there have undoubtedly been many lessons learnt. We joined with a relatively good DDP (in the high 90%) and our primary objective was to gain more control of production throughput during peak production times. The program has made us question the processes we had in place and enabled us to focus on throughput by matching volumes with available capacity, it\'s amazing how often we forget there are a finite number of hours available. The program requires a discipline throughout the organisation and I would state that the 14 week program really provides the foundation to install VSS philosophy in a business. Also important is the work you conduct after the program that has the ability to cement this in to the culture of the business. If I had one piece of advice to give it would be to focus on getting the ideas implemented as opposed to the details, by doing so the results are quicker to come by. I would recommend any business involved in manufacturing custom made items to consider the VSS program.”

“Dr. Lisa, Thanks to your program Velocity Scheduling System Gulf has improved Delivery times, reduced rework, improved team work, improved cash flow, and it has really impressed our customers with such a planning system they can actually follow the progress of their job as it progresses threw the shop. The reduction in chaos has to be one of the best benefits to the program. No more putting out fires all the time. The proper planning and scheduling has really improved this aspect of our operation. This would be great for any shop to consider…….as long as it’s not my competition! Thanks again and we are looking forward to the Mafia Offer Program next Month.”

“We increased our velocity of jobs getting though our shop. it has helped point out many flaws in our shop that where previously getting hidden or overlooked to help increase productivity.”

“Our overdue orders were mainly due to jobs being overlooked. We have so many different parts that it is hard for one person to keep track. With VSS we've incorporated Detail planning and a Visual Vss Board so that jobs will no longer get overlooked.”
